MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Downloader.Jrat-6336393-1. Static analysis indicates the presence of an embedded OLE object (ooxml_oleobject_00.bin) which is a common vector for exploiting vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-21514. This embedded object likely serves to download and execute a secondary payload, consistent with the 'Downloader' classification in the ClamAV signature.
